For this new part of The Sinking City Walkthrough, visit the Blackwood Manor, East of Grimhaven Bay (picture1). The front door is on the east side and many monsters are waiting for you. After killing them (picture2), take a look at the drawing on the wall to the right of the door (picture3).

As the latter is barricaded, go around the building to find a dead body at the back (picture4). Examine it and then activate your Mind’s Eye to follow the flying octopuses (picture5) to an apparently condemned entrance (picture6).

Always with the Mind’s Eye, dispel the illusion to discover a door that allows you to enter the manor (picture7). Once inside, reach the living room where there are new creatures. Once the area is peaceful, interact with the door where Dagon’s eye is drawn (picture8).

Activate your Mind’s Eye and follow the ghosts in the basement (picture9). Be careful not to approach the symbol drawn on the ground at the risk of making a giant monster appear (picture10). The ghosts lead you to an illusory wall which, once dissipated, allows you to go down to the second basement (picture11).

At this level, approach the altar and pick up the stone (picture12). Use your Mind’s Eye to witness a strange ritual led by Blackwood (picture13). On the altar, you can also grab the “Ritual Log” (picture14).

Under the log, there is also the Manor Key (picture15). Then examine the table (picture16) that is along the wall, and lift the illusion on the opposite wall where there is a diamond with upside down question marks (picture17).

Behind it are several tombs, one of which is fresher than the others and you can examine it (picture18). Go back to the previous room to find a retrocognition area (picture19).

The first scene is the one where Blackwood welcomes a certain Gordon (picture20). The second scene represents the ritual performed by Blackwood (picture21). The last one shows Blackwood burying the unfortunate Gordon (picture22).

Activate your Mind’s Eye and follow the birds to the 2nd floor of the manor (picture23). Enter the office at the back and lift the illusion on the statuette (picture24) which actually hides “Blackwood’s Diary” (picture25).

Go to the next room to find a painting representing the high seas (picture26). Open the Mind Palace and combine the clues “Ebernote’s Ritual” and “Burial” (picture27) to get the deduction “Ebernote’s Ritual were Deadly” (picture28).

Then connect the clues “Ebernote has the Seal” and “Focus from Cthygonnaar” (picture29) to unlock the deduction “Ritual has been improved” (picture30). With the two previous deductions, you get the double deduction “Rituals are doomed to fail” and “Ritual could save me” (picture31).

Go down to the ground floor and use the Manor Key on the locked door where the eye of Dagon is drawn (picture32). Inside the small room, start by reading the “Letter to I. Blackwood” (picture33). Then examine the portrait (picture34).

Finally, pick up the photo (picture35) on the piece of furniture, and look at its back to read the message “Come unto the Sea!” (picture36).

Open the Mind Palace again, and combine the clues “Blackwood Exodus” and “Place of Pilgrimage” (picture37) to get the deduction “Finding the Cannery” (picture38). With the Blackwood Manor now thoroughly searched, our investigation will lead us to the cannery in the next part of The Sinking City Walkthrough.
